Digitization Project Rubric

The ability to accurately estimate the completion of a digitization project is highly valuable when working with multiple collections, stakeholders, and deadlines. Unfortunately, when encountering a wide variety of objects in differing quantities, any estimate generated can tend more towards intuition than be based on an accurate knowledge of digitization speeds or workflow capacity. The Project Completion Rubric developed at the University of North Texas Digital Projects Unit attempts to provide these more realistic pieces for estimating project completion. This presentation will discuss the first phase of the rubric’s creation: estimating digitization.
